Does this one happen to you frequently?

Pop culture fail.

only at roadblocks.

The cop has a reputation apparently. My attorney friend knew who the cop was right away, and wanted to represent me just because he didn't like her.

What kind of person gets off on catching people for ridiculously minor violations.

[imanihonjin]

Pop culture fail.

ability to perceive sarcasm fail.

byu honor code office?

Yep, you are right, I totally thought that DDD had been frequently stopped by the police and asked "would you mind stepping out of the car, ma'am, I just wanted to take a quick look at that cute little outfit you have on." You win.

That's true. There are also a lot of these types running around BYU and anxious to turn others in to the HCO. '71, care to chime in?

Definitely worth it.

It is never better to touch up rock chips (instead of using the clear coat) because the surface of the car will still be porous, look uneven, and be subjected to rust over time. Rock chip repair is only a stop-gap to delay the inevitable, it isnt a true fix unless you reseal the chip.

3M coating is actually not best in class, although you were probably referring generically to that style of clear coat as opposed to a specific brand. I recently put a clear coat on my car and I love it. The latest clear coats have micro punctures in them (think microscopic jersey mesh...sexy!) which allows the coat to take on wax and look really sharp. In fact, the more you wax, the better, as it keeps the coat supple. You do have to use liquid wax and avoid a rotary buffer (buffer takes longer, anyway) and if you dont hand wash your car, make sure the car wash uses soft foam brushes, not that wiry stuff that scratches your paint.

No, I'm not looking to get the 3M specifically--just referring to the style. Which one did you get?

That seems like a great idea. Unfortunately, the picture quality is so poor, I can't tell how good (or bad) the finished product actually looks.

no matter who does your car, you should go to the garage in person to check out samples of the finished product. i wouldnt go off the website. ideally, the finished car will look just like a normal car. you shouldn't be able to see a difference. if you have dark paint and go half hood, you will be able to see a difference, though.

I definitely agree with this. I'm not even aware of a good rock chip repair. You can use touch-up paint, but it will not look good and will not match the rest of the paint. If I take a car to the local body shop with rock chips, they will want to paint the hood and I'll be looking at $450 or more.
